Abstract The results of a frst archaeometric study on ceramic materials with evidence of precious metal processing are pre-sented. By combining the topographic study with surface analysis techniques (pXRF and SEM-EDS), it has been possible to confrm the presence of gold and/or silver. The analysis indicates a poorly standardized form of production, which takes place inside the castros, in a communal or domestic context.
